Ma Wanzhong has already suffered a loss in the hands of the little devil, as the saying goes, it is impossible for him to repeat the mistakes of the past, this time in the face of the crazy attack of the Japanese army in the direction of Hebei, Ma Wanzhong reported the situation to the command as soon as possible.

Li Lingfei had already learned about the Japanese counterattack from the telegram, and he had already sent a telegram to Liu Chundao, asking Liu Chundao to send two regiments to Jingcheng to obey Ma Wanzhong's command.

At present, Li Lingfei is more concerned about the battle situation in Datong, Li Weimin is ill, although his troops have not suffered a huge blow, but the attack on the front line of the Great Wall is also a failure, and the morale of the troops will inevitably be affected.

"Brother Liao, do you think there will be a problem with Datong?"

Although Datong has a large number of troops and has been deployed, although Li Weimin insists on commanding the troops while sick, no one can say how long he can support it, in case Li Weimin falls ill again, only Huang Changsheng is alone in Datong.

Liao Jundong has been away from Datong for four days, and he doesn't know much about Datong's deployment, but judging from the comparison of enemy and enemy forces, Liao Jundong believes that Li Weimin can protect Datong without worry.

However, now that the news of Liao Fan's death has spread, the soldiers are depressed, and a haze hangs over the heads of the New 33rd Army.

On the surface, the new 33rd Army does not seem to have the slightest problem, once the front line suffers a small setback, it will inevitably affect the entire army, and there are about 40,000 combat troops around Datong alone, and as long as there is a major rout, how many of these 40,000 people will remain? Li Weimin will become the history of the new 33rd Army.

With the fall of Liao Fan, the New 33rd Army faced a great crisis.

"Changsheng should be able to live in Datong!"

The war has broken out, and Liao Jundong has no energy to focus on Liao Fan, and now except for Hu Guoshan's troops on the western front who don't have to worry, the troops in the other two directions are in a dangerous situation.

"Report, telegram!" A communications soldier handed the telegram into Li Lingfei's hands.

After reading the telegram, Li Lingfei said to Liao Jundong: "Division Commander Hu's telegram, he said that if troops are needed, they can be transferred from their division at any time, and the Japanese troops in Yangquan do not pose a threat to them. ”

Liao Jundong shook his head, although the troops in Hu Guoshan's hands were overwhelming the little devil, but Yangquan had just been broken, and Hu Guoshan's troops had not gained a firm foothold in Yangquan at all.

"No, send a telegram to Lao Hu, we will send reinforcements from other directions as much as possible from the troops in the station, their task is to stabilize Yangquan, if there is spare strength, eat the Japanese army in front of them!"

After thinking about it, Liao Jundong believed that they would have a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Shanxi sooner or later, and they might as well consume a part of the Japanese army first than to fight the Japanese army hiding in Taiyuan City, so that when they attacked Taiyuan, the casualties of the troops would be much smaller.

The most important thing is that the battle in Datong in the north has not yet begun, and it is unknown who will win and who will lose. As for Ma Wanzhong's troops, they had just exchanged fire with the Japanese army, and if they really needed reinforcements, Ma Wanzhong would definitely send a telegram, and it would not be too late for them to send reinforcements at that time.

At present, what they have to do in the command headquarters is to stabilize the current situation, although they can't annihilate many Japanese troops, but they can also guarantee that the Japanese army will not take advantage of them.

"What about Datong?" Li Lingfei turned the topic back to Datong.

Datong is of great importance to the new 33 rd Army, and Datong, which has finally stabilized, is now developing steadily, and this can be regarded as the largest city in the defense zone of the new 33 rd Army.

Now that the situation in Datong seems to be stable, I am afraid that everyone knows that this is just an illusion.

"I'm sure the two of them can fight this battle well!"

They have not fought defensive battles once or twice, especially in Datong, where there are Li Weimin and Huang Changsheng, two relatively old officers of the New 33rd Army, and they will definitely be able to withstand the pressure of the Japanese army.

In the headquarters of Li Weimin's division in Datong, Huang Changsheng, Li Weimin and a group of staff officers were discussing the battle plan, and they wanted to find out every loophole in the defense line as much as possible, so as not to prevent the Japanese army from finding their weak points.

Just as Li Weimin and the others were discussing the plan, a man dressed as a beggar sneaked into Datong City from outside the city. This made the beggar familiar with Datong, and he quickly found his target, and then slipped a letter through the crack in the door.

Because of the imminent war, the streets of Datong were deserted, with only two or three pedestrians occasionally passing by, except for the patrolling troops. No one cared about this beggar who didn't look like a beggar.

The Japanese army outside the city was still deploying troops, and in just one day, the Japanese army on the front line increased its strength by 10,000 men. The Japanese sent bombers and began to bomb the road from Datong to Yingxian.

For the safety of the materials, the logistics soldiers can only rest during the day and transport supplies at night, fortunately there are Japanese prisoners of war in the city, the little devil and Ben did not dare to attack and bomb the city, maybe one * will reimburse all these Japanese prisoners of war.

Although the Japanese counterattack did not achieve great results, they got the results they wanted, because their counterattack did not allow the New 33rd Army to counterattack on a large scale, proving that Liao Fan was really dead.

Liao Fan's death was great news for the Japanese commander in Shanxi, and he almost put on two sticks of incense and paid a good tribute to their emperor in the headquarters. Such a strong opponent is dead, and their regain control of Shanxi is just around the corner.

On the morning of the third day of the Japanese counterattack, the Japanese army finally began to launch a full-scale attack, not only in Jingcheng, Datong, Sanyin and Yangquan in Hebei.

On this day, half of China was in the smoke of gunpowder, and 60,000 troops of the national army in Luoyang had been put into battle.

The vanguard of the national army was the first to reach the periphery of Luoyang, after three days and three nights of fighting, this regiment lost two-thirds of its soldiers, after the arrival of the large army, the regiment commander explained the situation, and then withdrew from the front line with the troops, to rest in the rear.

The soldiers of this regiment rushed all the way, and the soldiers fought continuously, and after the withdrawal of the front line, more than 20 fighters fell directly on the road, they were exhausted to death.

For the sake of this devastated country, their lives from their twenties have quietly disappeared into this long-standing land.

The soldiers had nothing but their weapons on their clothes, and their thin bodies were left with nothing left, and they did not have time to write even a final letter to their families, and at last they were reduced to dust and merged with the land.

They come from dust and return to dust.

The remaining soldiers of the regiment, under the leadership of the regiment commander, buried the bodies of these soldiers on the spot, and a battalion commander did not know where to find a door panel to make a tombstone for these soldiers.

"Brothers, the conditions are poor, I can only use this to make a tombstone for you!"

The soldiers did not know where to find the pen and ink and handed it to the battalion commander.

"Tomb of the Unknown Soldier"

There were only these six words on the front of the tombstone, but the battalion commander felt that this was not enough, so he wrote another line behind the tombstone.

"Although they are humble, they deserve your respect, and if you may, please bow to them, because they have given their most humble lives for this country!"

The lives of the soldiers are very humble, including the battalion commander who wrote these words, on the frontal battlefield, the battalion commander of the national army has fallen on the front line of countless people, they can survive, in addition to luck, but also with the sacrifice of their comrades, the living people will continue to fight this battle.

This is just a small episode on the front line, compared to Luoyang City, the bodies of many national soldiers have been blown into powder, and the withdrawn soldiers can still find a place to bury, and many soldiers in the city can no longer find a complete loss.

Although the soldiers in the city were holding their positions, the Japanese army's attacks were becoming more and more fierce, and the living space of the national soldiers was getting smaller and smaller.

The headquarters of the division commander of the Nationalist army was already within the range of the Japanese mortars, but the Japanese did not take action because the Japanese did not know the direction.

The division commander counted the troops in his hands with his fingers, his guard battalion and cooking squad had been sent to the position, and even the signal corps had been reduced to half of the original.

"Damn, that's all we occupy, what are you going to do with such a communication soldier, leave half of it, and the rest pick up guns and fight!"

What the city needed most now was reinforcements, and although they had heard the rumbling of their own troops in the distance, they knew that they would only have a chance to hear the rumbling cannons if they held on.

If all of them are killed, the supporting troops will immediately withdraw. They don't just get hope from the supporting troops, but the supporting troops also see hope in their perseverance.

The battle was like this, the little devils were not comfortable, and the Japanese army was eager to fight a quick victory, so there was a big difference in firepower, and although the Japanese army made great progress in some places, the Japanese army paid a heavy price in some aspects.

Now the Japanese troops in Luoyang City certainly wanted to end the battle immediately, but the Chinese soldiers defending the city did not give them a chance, although more and more brothers fell around them, but they did not retreat.

As the casualties on the front line became heavier, the Japanese front commanders became less and less confident, because more and more Chinese troops came to support, and Chinese troops were attacking on their flanks.

If this kind of fighting continues, these regular Chinese troops will cut off their rear routes, surround them in Henan, and bury all their tens of thousands of soldiers in Henan.
